To reach satisfaction in all
desire satisfaction in nothing.
To come to possess all
desire the possession of nothing.
To arrive at being all
desire to be nothing.
To come to the knowledge of all
desire the knowledge of nothing.
To come to enjoy what you have not
you must go by a way in which you enjoy not.
To come to the knowledge you have not
you must go by a way in which you know not.
To come to the possession you have not
you must go by a way in which you possess not.
To come to be what you are not
you must go by a way in which you are not.

Dear Personnel:

About our photograph. I think we need to redo it. One, the whole front row is basically all guys. That's not cool, I think. All guys up front and the women in back: not good.

Second, our pal Mylka is not with us! We HAVE TO REDO IT. We'll redo it next week. For now, this one's okay. But barely just okay.
